I have the definition of combination skin. In my t-zone, it’s all oil, all the time. When you get to the areas surrounding my cheeks and chin, it’s a desert. And, I have problem skin. Lovely to be me, right?

So I’ve been using this product forever, it’s great in a pinch when you need to shrink a pimple for the following day, and cover it up with make-up, but it’s not really a treatment per se. Recently, I’ve discovered the best way to actually use this product rather than the one stop solution I’ve been using it as for the past several years.

Why do I need a disinfectant you ask? Because salicylic acid works as an acid does, sort of burning a hole through your zit, making it smaller, but also making it extremely susceptible to more bacteria which creates, as you guessed it, more pimples.

After using this regimen for a couple of weeks I am completely satisfied with my skin, and will continue to use all of these products in this way. I recommend the C & C, it’s an excellent product, and with all products, you have to use more than just one to solve adult acne problems.

I honestly have no idea if this stuff even works. I was using it in place of my usual acne spot cream and it didn’t seem to do anything. You feel a sting from the acid so it feels like it’s working but doesn’t do much else. I still put it on my face during the day if I have any pimples since it’s clear, but it is probably pointless.
